Vet, 104, Collects
$30,000 on $10,000
Policy-So Far
A veteran who look out a
SI0,000 life insurance policy
about 50 years ago has already
collected more than $30,000 on
it, the Veterans Administration
said.
According to VA, the policy-
holder was 104 years old last
month, and is still collecting
monthly checks.
The veteran had a short mili-
tary career during World War I
after entering service in June
1918 at the age of 51 In Decem-
ber the same year, he was dis-
charged with the rank of captain
in the Army Medical Corps.
In July 1921, he took out an
Ordinary Life insurance policy.
When VA rated him totally and
permanently disabled in 1927 as
a result of service-connected in-
juries, VA. under terms of his
policy, started paying him
$57.50 monthly. He still draws
that amount.
Then, in October 1927, VA
also began paying the veteran
monthly compensation, based
on his disability. Compensation
rates have been increased
through the years, and he now
draws $450 a month.
VA said the agency will con-
tinue to pay insurance benefits
to the veteran as long as he re-
mains totally and permanently
disabled.

AUSTIN, Tex. — Texas 1972
l*)litical campaigns jumped off
to an early start last week amid
earthquake proportioned new
rumblings in the long-running
Securities and Exchange Com
mission slock manipulation case
Lt Gov, Ben Barnes announced
he will run for governor, and
called "loss of faith and confi-
dence in slate gov rnment" the
No. 1 political issue.
Barnes termed the shadows
cast by SEC's inquiry into stock
trading of state officials one of
the reasons for lost confidence
by the public.
"I visualize the role of the
governor as a much more-aggres-
sive role than it has been in the
past," he said. Barnes, who is
33, added "a young governor
with progressive ideas would be
an asset" to Texas.
Barnes said he would aim to
make the stale Democratic party
an "energetic force foe sound
government, not just n political
tool to be used briefly every two
years and then discarded. I want
Texas to be strong in national
affairs."
Atty Gen. Crawford C. Martin,
recovered from a March heart
attack, announced he will file as
a candidate for a fourth term.
"In the light of the scandals
that have rocked our state gov-
ernment this spring — and the
resulting investigation which my
office has begun at the request
of the Legislature — I feel it a
question of duly to Texans to
make the race," said Martin.
IVilph Briscoe of Uvalde re-
portislly retains interest in the
governor's race.
Gov Preston Smith still hints
he may run again, brands fed-
e-al handling of the stock case
"political harassment."
OIL ALIJOWABLE CUT
Statewide oil production allow-
able for July has been slashed
260,815 barrels a day from June.

6.7 per cent. Reduction is the
third straight.
Market demand factor for the
coming month is the lowest since
62.9 [xt cent allowable was set
during part of August, 1970.
Maximum production is esti-
mated at 3.367,115 barrels daily,
but actual production will be
closer to 3,273,750 barrels —
slightly more than major buyers
requested
Eight of 14 major crude pur-
chasers asked the same allowable
for July, four sought less and two
requested more.
Crude oil stocks were estimated
at 108 4 million barrels, an in-
crease of 1.1 million over the
1970 period
